The announcement came out in Mid April last year, I would think that it would be the same this year probably?

Talk on Facebook that Nuneaton are getting E200MMC's and Cumbria getting open top Volvo Gemini 3's.

Union Rep told me that an official bid was put in for 25 Gold spec single decks for Nuneaton route 48, but whether or not that has been accepted is yet to be announced.
Plans for transfers have been bounced around including 14 MAN E200s to Rugby, some of 36153-76 will be on 55/56/57 with others going off to Corby/Kettering - That is not confirmed though and is only hearsay, only the bid is official.

Where do these MANs come from?

Nuneaton, IF it all happens as above, the gold will displace the 60 plate E200s onto the all or most of the work currently covered by the MAN E200s which will go off to Rugby (and possibly elsewhere if all leave). There's already been the transfer of a 62 plate E200 and a Gold Solo out of Nuneaton just recently

Just looked at my Stagecoach Midlands fleetlist-I don't have 36176 on mine.
